Imagine what this deal does for guys like King Felix, Verlander, and Kershaw who are far superior IMO.

No kidding. Greinke is a good pitcher, but he's a No. 2 in a lot of rotations, including the Dodgers. I wouldn't have given him a contract like that, but the Dodgers are obviously going for all the marbles.

Today pitching is the most precious commodity in baseball. It's in short supply especially solid starters (and I'd put Greinke in that class), when someone gets to the open market you're going to pay through the nose for it.

Yeah. It's classic supply and demand.

I'm still not sure that they'll get into the playoffs, even with that payroll.

Time Warner cable in SoCal is the one really pushing for the Dodgers rights to go along with the Lakers property which they already have.

The final winning bid will be astronomical in the range of 250 million per season to the franchise and that's before even one ticket has been sold.

The rich get righer because they know how the game is played.

I think the Sox rights come open in 2016....and I agree they might get an increase but nothing like, not even close to what the Rangers, Angels, Dodgers are getting and what the Yankees / Red Sox will get when they hit the market.
